- Use of electrical equipment (music/AV) — PAT-test kit, tape down cables, restrict youth from unsupervised setup, and ensure volumes are kept at safe levels. Keep spares and train one leader to operate equipment.
- Use of kitchen / hot drinks — Restrict use of kettles/urns to leaders, provide stable surfaces, and keep hot drinks away from crowded areas. Mark serving area clearly and have burns kit available.
- Bullying or exclusion — Establish zero-tolerance policy, keep leaders alert to subtle signs, provide safe reporting channels, and engage parents when necessary. Promote inclusion in games and discussions.
- Indoor games and activities — Clear furniture from play area, use safe equipment, brief rules before starting, and have a first-aid trained adult on hand. Set boundaries for rough play and stop games if behaviour becomes unsafe.
